Event Details

Join three NPR science correspondents as they dissect a lie.

Jon Hamilton, Alix Spiegel and Shankar Vedantam explore the science behind deception and self-deception, in 90-minutes of live storytelling, audience discussion and original multimedia.

Using the true story of two little boys from Milwaukee who lied to their parents about catching a fish, the reporters explain what the latest research in neuroscience, sociology and psychology tell us about our lies:

Are we wired to be honest or wired to deceive?

Is the fib you told your 3rd grade teacher about your losing your homework anything like the lies a politician tells to get elected?

How often are we complicit in helping people deceive us?

It's free.  It's fun.  It's NPR Science on stage.
